Using --git to determine who to send a patch to, it is notreasonable to include people that only reported an issue or tested apatch. Thus we restrict the candidates to be the one's listed withReviewed-By, Signed-Off-By and Acked-By tags.

The Acked-By: is questionable also, but as people listed with this tagtend to be active linux gatekeepers, false positives are tolerable.
